shiv or shim?

Common question: what's the difference between the html5shim and the html5shiv? Answer: nothing, one has an m and one has a v - that's it.

But... but... words mean things! @remy should know better. ;-)

I love the irony of this self fulfilling prophecy of this dilemma too lol:

Shiv                                                                                                                                                   ^^

Heh, indeed. It sounds like someone was single-handedly responsible for perpetuating all this confusion on a large scale. :-P

take it up with them lol

ProLoser commented 11 years ago

Honestly though, IE can die for all I care, so perhaps in that context, a 'shiv' is applicable

See remark about John Resig's typo: http://paulirish.com/2011/the-history-of-the-html5-shiv/
